2 OUTLINE Screening Eligible Offenses Clinical Substance Use and Mental Health Assessment Risk and Need Assessment Legal Outcome Admission Factors Findings on the Record Program Entry Transferring Supervision
3 DEFINITIONS Standard: Courts must implement Best Practice: Courts should implement Promising Practice: Courts should consider
4 SCREENING STANDARDS To be admitted to drug court, individual must: Complete preadmission screening and evaluation assessment Agree to future evaluation assessment Evaluation assessment must include: Review of criminal history Previous drug court participation and results (LEIN) Assessment of risk of danger or harm to individual, others, community
5 ELIGIBLE OFFENSES STANDARDS Violent offender meets EITHER of the following: Is currently charged with or has pled guilty to, or if a juvenile, is currently alleged to have committed or has admitted responsibility for, an offense involving the death of or a serious bodily injury to any individual, or the carrying, possessing, or use of a firearm or other dangerous weapon by that individual, whether or not any of these circumstances are an element of the offense, or is criminal sexual conduct of any degree.

9 DEFINE TARGET POPULATION The Million Dollar Question: Who does best in Drug Court? NDCI: A Professional Services Division of NADCP
10 TARGET Drug Court Targets High Risk/High Need Offenders For Admission High Risk Substantial risk for reoffending or failing to complete a less intensive disposition High Need Addicted to illicit drugs or alcohol NDCI: A Professional Services Division of NADCP
11 THE RISK AND NEED PRINCIPLES No one intervention is appropriately suited for all drug-involved offenders. The most effective and cost-efficient outcomes are achieved when treatment and supervision services are tailored to: (1) prognostic risk level and (2) criminogenic needs of the participant. NDCI: A Professional Services Division of NADCP
12 Prognostic Risk Not necessarily a risk for violence or dangerousness Risk essentially means the characteristics of an offender that predicts poorer outcomes in standard rehabilitation programs. A difficult prognosis or lesser amenability to treatment. NDCI: A Professional Services Division of NADCP
13 PROGNOSTIC RISK Static Factors Static Factors Don t Change Current age < 25 years Delinquent onset < 16 years Substance abuse onset < 14 years Prior rehabilitation failures History of violence Familial history of crime or addiction NDCI: A Professional Services Division of NADCP
14 PROGNOSTIC RISK Dynamic (Changeable) Factors Antisocial personality pattern impulsive adventurous pleasure seeking restlessly aggressive and irritable behavior Pro-criminal attitudes offering rationalizations for crime expressing negative attitudes toward the law Social supports for crime having criminal friends being isolated from prosocial peers NDCI: A Professional Services Division of NADCP
15 Substance abuse PROGNOSTIC RISK Dynamic Facotors (continued) Poor family/marital relationships inappropriate parental monitoring and disciplining. School performance and low levels of satisfaction with school or work. Lack of prosocial recreational activities lack of involvement in prosocial recreational and leisure activities. NDCI: A Professional Services Division of NADCP
16 KEEP THIS IN MIND! The higher the risk level, the more intensive the supervision and accountability should be; and vice versa Mixing risk levels is contraindicated: Low risk offenders will not make high risk offenders better; both will get worse. NDCI: A Professional Services Division of NADCP
17 RESEARCH STATES HIGH NEED Seriously Impaired Moderate/Severe Substance Use Disorder Compulsively addicted to drugs or alcohol Cravings Binge patterns Withdrawal symptoms Major psychiatric disorders Functional impairments (e.g., lack of job skills, illiteracy) NDCI: A Professional Services Division of NADCP
18 SCREENING STANDARDS A preadmission screening and assessment SHALL include all of the following: As much as practicable, a complete review of the individual s history regarding the use or abuse of any controlled substance or alcohol and an assessment of whether the individual abuses controlled substances or alcohol or is drug or alcohol dependent. It is the intent of the legislature that this assessment should be a clinical assessment as much as practicable.
19 SCREENING STANDARDS A review of any special needs or circumstances of the individual that may potentially affect the individual s ability to receive substance abuse treatment and follow the court s orders.
20 SCREENING STANDARDS A drug treatment court may hire or contract with licensed or accredited treatment providers to assist the drug court in Investigation of an individual s background or circumstances Clinical evaluation of an individual for his or her admission into or participation in drug court
21 SCREENING BEST PRACTICES Use clinical assessments instead of screening tools to determine diagnoses. Clinical assessments use standardized tools.
22 NEED PRINCIPLE The higher the need level, the more intensive the treatment or rehabilitation services should be; and vice versa Mixing need levels is contraindicated (Andrews & Bonta, 2010) NDCI: A Professional Services Division of NADCP
23 WHY DO PROGNOSTIC RISK AND CRIMINOGENIC NEEDS MATTER? Determines level of treatment and supervision Determines consequences for new behavior Higher risk = more intensive the supervision Higher need = more intensive treatment Lower risk = less intensive supervision Lower need = less intensive treatment NDCI: A Professional Services Division of NADCP
24 BE CAREFUL! Too much treatment or supervision Waste of scarce resources Increases crime or substance abuse by exposure to more seriously impaired or antisocial peers Interferes with engagement in productive activities Work School Parenting NDCI: A Professional Services Division of NADCP
25 CRIMINOGENIC NEED Moderate/Severe Substance Use Disorder 1. Triggered binge response 2. Cravings or compulsions 3. Withdrawal symptoms } Abstinence is a distal goal Substance Abuse } Abstinence is a proximal goal Collateral needs } Dual diagnosis Regimen Serious functional impairments - Regimen compliance is a proximal goal compliance is proximal NDCI: A Professional Services Division of NADCP
26 SCREENING BEST PRACTICE The drug court program accepts participants that are both high risk and high need.
27 PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS High Needs (dependent) Low Needs (abuse) High Risk Status calendar Treatment Pro-social & adaptive habilit. Abstinence is distal Positive reinforcement Self-help/alumni groups ~ mos. (~200 hrs.) Status calendar Pro-social habilitation Abstinence is proximal Negative reinforcement ~ mos. (~100 hrs.) Low Risk Noncompliance calendar Treatment (separate milieu) Adaptive habilitation Abstinence is distal Positive reinforcement Self-help/alumni groups ~ mos. (~150 hrs.) Noncompliance calendar Psycho-education Abstinence is proximal Individual/stratified groups ~ 3-6 mos. (~ hrs.) NDCI: A Professional Services Division of NADCP
28 RISK AND NEED MATRIX: ALTERNATIVE TRACKS High Needs (dependent) Low Needs (abuse) High Risk Standard Track Accountability, Treatment & Habilitation Supervision Track Accountability & Habilitation Low Risk Treatment Track Treatment & Habilitation Diversion Track Secondary Prevention NDCI: A Professional Services Division of NADCP
29 BEST PRACTICE Candidates are assessed using validated risk assessment and clinical assessment tools. Legal Risk/Needs Tools Clinical In-Depth Clinical Diagnostic Evaluation Do Both Prior to Program Acceptance NDCI: A Professional Services Division of NADCP
30 SCREENING BEST PRACTICE Ensure risk and needs assessment tools are validated on a population similar to drug court participants. Promising Practice Use the Drug Court Practitioner Fact Sheet developed by NDCI to select tools
31 ADJUSTING TRACKS No assessment tool is perfectly reliable and valid; may overestimate or underestimate. Offender may not be truthful. Consider as a starting point. Let subsequent behavior serve as a guide. Consider Adaptive Interventions NDCI: A Professional Services Division of NADCP
32 BEST PRACTICE Re-examine dynamic risk factors after program admission.
33 PRACTICAL CONSIDERATIONS Only Drug Possession cases? (Best practices say no!) Greater effects with theft and property offenders Often not jail or prison-bound Mentally Ill? (Best practices say yes, if adequate treatment is available!) Often undiagnosed at entry Acute drug reactions often misdiagnosed as mental illness Required Motivation to Change (Best practices say not to consider as criterion for admission!) Coerced patients do just as well or better than motivated patients You need motivation by the time of graduation, not the time of entry We are not good at assessing motivation! NDCI: A Professional Services Division of NADCP Dealers? (Best practices say yes!) Do just as well in drug court Violent Offenders not Excluded by Statute? (Standards say yes!) Do just as well in drug court Often get less supervision than drug court
34 BE ALL YOU CAN BE! Consider everyone you have the political support to take Consider everyone you have the resources to take Consider the offender before you consider the offense NDCI: A Professional Services Division of NADCP
35 ADC APPLICANT John Feighter is a 30 year old male. He was a troubled teenager who was best described as the school bully. In the 10 th grade, he was removed from public school and placed in an alternative school for trouble youth.

John has a significant juvenile history including underage drinking, trespassing, running away, petty theft, and vandalism. After completing high school John worked odd jobs constantly getting reprimanded for not showing up to working, and was recently fired due to having arguments and fights with his co-workers and peers. After just one year working with several construction businesses in his home town, he was unable to find employment. He went to his family doctor complaining of back problems.

He went to outpatient treatment at age 21 and was diagnosed with a Severe Substance Use Disorder. His parents eventually filed a restraining order to keep him out of their home at age 23. Matt was recently arrested for Possession of Heroin and Assault and was referred to drug court by the arresting officer.
37 ADC APPLICANT Tasha Filner worked at factory while attending community college. After leaving work one evening, she was sexually assaulted by one of her fellow factory workers.
